We had an amazing fishing trip, reeling in Red Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, big Grunts, Snook, Redfish, Sea Trout, and even a Goliath Grouper. While most of the fish were released due to regulations and being out of season, the experience was still incredibly fun and exciting. Captain Austin is highly knowledgeable and knows exactly where to find the best spots. We had an awesome time and highly recommend this trip!

Captain Austin provided our family with an unforgettable day of fishing. He was patient with our kids, shared his extensive knowledge, and made it a fun learning experience for them. He took the time to teach us about the local area, Florida’s sea life, and how the climate impacts fishing in this region. With all the necessary tools for a safe and successful day on the water, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We highly recommend him to families with kids or anyone looking for an enjoyable fishing adventure.

I can't recommend Captain Austin highly enough! Our group included two novice anglers and one seasoned fisherman, all just eager for a great time. The captain's expertise was evident as he quickly had us reeling in fish! I've already booked another trip and look forward to many more in the future. Captain Austin is a top choice for anglers of all ages and skill levels. Thank you, Captain Austin!
